STRIKE AT POOR FARM.

Carpenters Complain Company Food

Is Not Sanitary.

Complaint was made yesterday to the pure food board by carpenters in the employ of Taylor & Winn, contractors having in charge work of erecting new buildings at the Jackson county poor farm, because, so they declared, they were compelled to partake of unsanitary food served in a boarding house conducted by their employers. An investigation will be made.

When complaint was made to the contractors, the men were told, so they allege, that they would either have to board at the house or "get off the work," whereupon all laid down their tools and a committee was appointed to take their grievance before the proper authorities.
